Pakistan now is like a horror film franchise. You know, it's 'Friday the 13th, Episode 63: The Terrorist from Pakistan.' And each time we hear of Pakistan it's in that context.

I was in the first 'Friday The 13th,' and that was a microbudget horror film.

You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'

I didn't even know what a horror film was. I kind of made it up as I went along.

It's gotten to the point where it's big news when I don't do a horror film.

As a society, you were unwilling to reflect upon the shared pain that united you with those who attacked you. You retreated into myths of your own difference, assumptions of your own superiority. And you acted out these beliefs on the stage of the world, so that the entire planet was rocked by the repercussions of your tantrums, not least my family, now facing war thousands of miles away.
